Laura Whitmore: 'A man put his hand up my skirt in a nightclub and laughed'

professore

More front page news on the Indo today.

Really ... an Irish woman is gang raped in the Czech republic by 6 men. Radio silence.

A Z list celeb once had some creep put his hand up her skirt - front page news. It's not pleasant but hardly worthy of front page coverage.

PM me if you find out.

I'd rather hide it from the media.

Where was it front page news? That story was published yesterday, and the front pages were about the evidence in the Jackson/Oldham trial that had been withheld, Trump's threat to attack Syrian forces, and the prospect of pay rises.

On the front page of the independent website. Who actually buys newspapers anymore?

She shouldn't have been wearing a short skirt! Or out having a few drinks! She probably consented at the time and then regretted it when the lad showed no interest in her, she did say he left very quickly...or she just wanted to jump on the metoo bandwagon...

Am I getting this right?

Doesnt everybody get drunkenly groped in nightclubs at some point?

Sofiztikated

I was out for a few beers last Saturday for a birthday party. One of the lads was walking towards the bar, and happened to walk in the middle of a hen party.

I turned to tell him to get me a pint as well, when I did, he was naked to the waist, with not a button left on his shirt, and about 6 women pawing at him, in throngs of laughter. He was absolutely morto, and left for home.

Iiar, doesnt happen and you hate women....all of them.

Has she reported it to the authorities or is it just the twitter and blue haired police she went to

If that's sexual assault then lock me up.

She wouldn't have lasted five minutes in Sach's hotel back in the day.

I actually enjoy reading threads about sexual assault in After Hours. Makes identifying the tone-deaf arseholes of the board much easier.

Eh if you’re going around grabbing random women’s undercarriages in nightclubs you need to have a word with yourself there

Heres Johnny

I've had my arse grabbed in nightclubs by groups of girls in the past. Hard to tell which one did it when you turn around and they're all giggling.
I didn't care which one it was only I wanted to know which one was a bit gamey and up for a bit of action.

retro:electro

I fall somewhere in the middle on this.
Was it an unpleasant experience for her? I’m sure it was.
Should she have spoken up about it? Yes she should.
Is it worthy of being front page exclusive news: probably not.
Have I just done that annoying thing where you answer your own questions? Yes I have.

This is simply false. It was reported across a number of media outlets. And you're fully aware of that, as you replied on that thread to someone who listed some of the media articles that reported it.

https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=106696141

Why do you have a problem with an online article being published on this topic, among the thousands of other articles that news outlet publishes every week? Don't you think that sexual assault is an important enough topic to warrant that?

Not a nice thing to happen to a woman.
As a man it would not bother me if a woman Grabbed me. But thinking if a man grabbed me it would be very uncomfortable. Hmm. Am I allowed to say that or is it sexist
???

No, but it's fairly easy not to click into the thread and read it if you're not interested in the topic of well described thread.

Is this a nightclub thing? I have spent a good deal of my life in pubs and have never seen a woman molested.

Yep cos sleezbags like to do it in the dark where they won't get a thump off the nearest actual lad that sees it and stands up for the girl.

I've had mates do it to girls, one regret i have is not calling them out on it. Some girls like it, would have to say majority probably don't.

I wouldn't mind if a class looking bird grabbed my arse, but if if she had a face like a bulldogs arse I probably wouldn't be too impressed. Better off everyone be sound and start leaving each others arses alone.

I wonder if a man put his hand up her skirt and not laugh, would that make the front page?

Fair play to her for speaking out about it.
No one male or female has the right to touch someone like that without....the buzz word....consent.
Assault plain and simple. If more keep speaking out then maybe just maybe it might start to sink in

There was a lot worse than that in the 80s.

Those shoulder pads...
Those ankle warmers...
...on the men.

In some ways society is going more backwards than forwards, e.g. It's gone from one extreme to the other.

Potential-Monke

Look, this is great and all that women are starting to realise that they don't have to be silent about these things. But for the love of God report it to the actual police, and not the social media police. What good is telling everyone you were touched up in a nightclub, and giving out about it, if you never did anything about it? There's no need to tell us this happens, as we all more or less know getting groped in a nightclub is a good possibility (and yes, it shouldn't happen, but it does). Hey, even some people enjoy it.

And i'm all for equal rights, as long as they are equal. And one can't even give a hypothetical situation without being called out as being misogynistic or victim blaming. I like to play devils advocate, simply because a lot of people are stuck in their ways and refuse to take part in a debate, not wanting to hear the other side. I take little to no interest in the majority of these debates, but I have great interest in over reactions of people on either side. Victim blaming is wrong, but there has to be some semblance of accountability in a lot of these cases. It may be the smallest of amounts, but it has to be there (in a lot of cases, not all, but people don't want to hear that).

I agree but the question is why haven't you availed of it? The free eye test that is.

Outlaw Pete

Personally I think she's gorgeous and that chap who assaulted her should be charged if it was as bad as she suggested, which i have no reason to doubt. Met her once when her bf was swarmed by young girls at a gig. She walked over to me and started chatting until they all cleared off. She was lovely and came across as very genuine. However, I do disagree with the following:

She also slammed male paparazzi for taking "pants shots" of female celebrities, saying those in the public eye are not "playthings."

I mean this is fair enough if you're not the kind of celeb who is courting that kind of shot but Laura has attended premieres where she has worn outfits that show off her panties and the like and you're playing with fire when you do that as naturally paps are just going to go for the most explicit shot they can. Here's an example.

I do think up skirt shots are going too far but then, tbf, some female celebs have deliberately exposed their underwear and worse / better (depending on your perspective) in a brazen attempt at getting in the papers and that's bound to have a knock on effect on celebs who don't want such attention. So I think while I get where she's coming from, you really can't blame the paparazzi 100% on (at least all) the kind of photos that's she's referring to.

DEFTLEFTHAND

I was sexually assaulted in Tipp Town in 2009.

Tough looking common bint took a shine and started feeling up me arse at the bar .


Later on in the night our groups were sitting together and she started fiddling up my leg trying to get at my equipment.


All my friends burst their holes laughing at it.


In reality it upset me but I didn't say anything.


It had no lasting impact me , I got over it , just a creepy 40 plus rough wan
This kinda sh1t will happen to every one in their lifetimes.

Potential-Monke

Careful Pete, you don't want to be victim blaming here. Women should be allowed to wear what they want, and not have the paparazzi taking photos of their privates.

However, on the flip side, people know that's what the paparazzi do, so why put yourself in that situation to begin with, just because 'I should be able to'. Plenty of celebs out there have little to no 'revealing' photos, because they know if they put themselves in that situation, it will happen. But no, can't victim blame...
